A transit IRM design session debates Key Risk Indicators versus underlying indicators. What architectural distinction should stick?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think dashboard light versus the sensor behind it. KRIs are the “hey, exposure is moving” signals; indicators are the measurements feeding those lights. One does not erase the need for actual risk records.
Full Explanation
In IRM architecture, indicators provide measurable values; KRIs are selected signals that highlight changing risk exposure for owners and governance. Indicators do not replace risk records, and KRIs are not merely audit codes or cosmetic UI themes. Clear separation supports continuous monitoring design.
